Alright, I have just finished reading my reviews from the second chapter and it seems that some of you are just as confused with this storyline as I am…I am going to try and clarify a couple of things with this next bit. Hope you enjoy it…please review. I LOVE to hear from you all!
Brennen didn't want to seem eager. She took her time responding but still felt weird as she mumbled "fine". Booth smiled. She didn't know why, but she realized she liked that reaction.
"So." Booth suddenly stood and clapped his hands together. "Father, we have reached a conclusion." He called over his shoulder. He turned back to his partner and offered her his arm. "Shall we?" Brennen rolled her eyes but placed her hand in the crook of his arm.
They walked toward the altar as one. Zack looked up from the foot of the altar where he had sat, contemplating whether he should be frightened or angry. He still hadn't decided but it seemed like Dr. Brennen and Agent Booth had come to a conclusion. He felt a little relieved by this and wiped his sweaty palms on the legs of his pants.
As the couple approached the altar, they kept their eyes on the priest, not daring to look at one another. Neither spoke. Brennen distantly heard the priest announcing their conclusion. Booth heard Camille gasp beside him but he didn't look at her. He didn't really care what she thought anyway. They were friends now, and besides, this wasn't a forever thing. He wanted to enjoy the moment while it lasted. He still hadn't figured out if he liked the idea of marrying Bones or not. He knew that there were feelings there, but he hadn't dared to explore them. Neither of them had.
They both had millions of thoughts rushing through their heads as the ceremony began. They spoke their parts without thinking and didn't even realize when the priest had come to "If anyone objects" until they heard the loud thump coming from the back of the room. This woke them from their stupor. They both spun around, trying to see who it was that had this objection. No one spoke. Then laughter suddenly erupted. "It's alright folks, he's a little drunk but he's fine." A man stood up by the doors, and now Booth and Brennen could see that the man had fallen – tripped over his own feet evidently.
Booth let out a sigh as the priest continued. "I now pronounce you…" he said. Booth looked at Brennen. This wasn't real…was he still supposed to kiss her? Brennen looked back. Is he going to kiss me?
Ok people, hold the applause…just kidding. I know this is sort of dragging along but I still haven't decided how this should turn out…oooo – just had an idea. Mwahahahaha…evil laughter, as you all know, is not a good sign. I guess you're going to have to read on to find out what happens!
